I'mk having trouble managing the "why?" phase. I've always loved this with other kids, and so I maybe encouraged it a bit too much early on. Anyway. When I realized I was getting really really really tooth-shatteringly (ok, almosttoothshatteringly) frustrated, I decided to teach DS to ask questions other than "why," in hopes the questions would become clearer and easier to answer.
Let's just say he learned that one pretty d#^% quick, and it did NOT help.
The upshot is, he's more into ontology than I am. He uses his new and improved question repetoire to inquire yet more deeply once he finally hits the ontological question.
Any advice? Please?
